Owing to the experimental nature of the work, and the press of other business, the affair has progressed very slowly. But the Committee has thought it best to wait two or three years if necessary in hopes that the experiment will succeed, rather than commit itself to the only other alternative, the preservation of the banners between sheets of glass,--an alternative which is expensive, necessitates...
